Stripes + Faux Fur On the two of us…

I’m pretty sure it’s obvious, but I am so obsessed with stripes! The “don’t wear horizontal stripes” is for sure a rule to break. Everyone can! Little hints of it peeking out of layering…LOVE!!! I’m also a bit obsessed with the faux fur trend, but have only really had the nerve to try it out on Maya (my little fashion guinea pig :})See the below expression? That would be me awkwardly trying to talk to a neighbor that came out while the self timer was going off. Hey, I have a limited window of Maya snacking in the wagon. I’ve got to keep this moving! 🙂 He eventually went back inside… And THIS is why I am so thankful I’m doing this blog. Are you kidding me with that smile? LOVE HER! In her hand is a doll from LinaMarieDolls. They are SO CUTE (sorry, I didn’t get a better picture of the doll, but getting Maya to “show me the doll” wasn’t exactly working. I won it in a cut throat auction, and have never been so glad to spend more than retail price on anything! 🙂 It’s all for a good cause, right? She has SO many other cute creations!! I foresee our house being overrun by them… 🙂 I see so many other bloggers talking about “reality” vs “blogging reality”. I admit. I’m only posting pictures that look good. Where me and Maya look happy. Duh. Honestly, I’m so lucky. Maya really is a happy kid, but I HAD to put these in here. These are SO going to be my teenage years… This is such a blogger pose below… And remember this sweater in red? YES, I found it in another thrift store in cream. Same “too big” size! This one was $1.50. SCORE!! Now, back to reality. “I’m jumping!!” Lastly. Wow, I’m rambling a LOT in this post. I’m not sure if any of you care about coats, but I’m thinking with the crazy weather in the US, the answer is yes?! I LOVE vintage coats. They are a fraction of the cost, look totally current (most designers base their looks on vintage coats), and nobody else will have them (WIN!!). All around SCORE as far as I’m concerned!! I haven’t really blogged much about outerwear, but I thought I might at the end for those that care. Pretty sure I got this coat for less than $20. It’s been a while… On me…
